Derry City secured an impressive three points when they saw off Drogheda United, who were reduced to ten-men in the closing minutes, with a brace from Anthony Elding and sublime strike from Barry McNamee ensuring Peter Hutton's side got back to winning ways. Elding opened the scoring on eight minutes, before McNamee volleyed home their second just the half-hour mark, and finally ex-Sligo front man Elding scored from the penalty spot late on which resulted in a red card for Jason Marks.
